“We were one of the first in our industry to embrace the power of
Twitter as a customer service tool because we recognize that consumers
are turning to social platforms as the new 800 number,” said Sunayna
Tuteja, director of emerging tech and innovation at TD Ameritrade.
“Twitter is a platform that investors are already using to chat with us
and get breaking news that can impact the markets, especially during
busy times like these. Now, we’re taking their experience to a whole new
level, further helping investors gather news, do their research, get
real-time quotes, and take action — all without leaving the Twitter
Direct Message platform.”

“TD Ameritrade is paving the way when it comes to how financial service
firms connect with consumers,” said Jeff Melei, director of financial
services client solutions at Twitter. “From their founding sponsorship
of TicToc by Bloomberg to the chat bot they are launching today, TD
Ameritrade has been consistently innovating and using Twitter in unique
ways to provide their customers with access to a breadth of real-time
data and customer service."

“This launch is a significant piece of our strategy to bring the power
of TD Ameritrade’s investing technology to the platforms that people are
using every day,” said Vijay Sankaran, chief information officer at TD
Ameritrade. “By tapping into familiar interfaces like Twitter and using
the power of AI to provide greater context, conversation and education,
we hope to make investing simpler and more accessible for more people.”
